What is a gaddo?

From Divya:

If I had to put it simply — in Konkani, it is known as a roadside food stall, on wheels, or an informal brick and mortar establishment, serving local or popular street food. But it's so much more than this definition.

A gaddo or a tapri didn't exist to create an aesthetic or have fancy coffee that made you question how much would remain in your wallet after you ordered it. It existed for practicality, affordability and was a space for everyone to be themselves, while still maintaining great taste and accessibility.

My childhood and young adulthood has been in Caranzalem and around Miramar. The one thing that has been common as I grew up, is going to a gaddo and eating street food when my mother needed a break from cooking, and from me.

We've featured six types of gaddes in Goa as examples to the street culture we have grown up loving, missing and socialising around. This box of xzines within the hamper can also be assembled into your very own gaddo, that can be embellished by the stickers designed by Gigglebooth.
